If government is the source of rights, then the government can take those “rights” away. Don’t believe me? Reference; China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda, Yugoslavia, USSR, and Burma.
Government can and will take your life. Where the hell are your “rights” then?
Here is a base truth; Government does not create, government meddles in the form of regulation and redistribution of human activity.

[As I have said before, governments cannot grant or create rights. They can only protect them or infringe them.–Joe]
Well, she certainly is useful for the blogfodder… I guess there are worse things.
This post proves exactly how we look at things differently.
Joe looks at this and says “See? Those governments have INFRINGED ON RIGHTS.”
And I say “See? Those governments never promised those rights in the first place.”
